Somewhat off topic but managed to take a snap of this little guy (girl technically I know) while having a few drags on my ecig outside of work today

About a foot tall or a little under so my guess is a Merlin. Amazing to see you still get nature in the car park of an office block in a busy city center!

Good capture. I love birds of prey.

Nice to see them about isn't it? I have to admit I assumed someone would be flying him but no rings or anything. There's a chap flies a raven nearby and mentioned he had other birds

Stunning pic.
How a male merlin, finds its way into a city centre is intriguing.
Maybe it was on it's way South, we'll never know.
